It doesn't really work like that. 1) The model outputs a ranked list of all tokens; the probability always sums to 1. Sometimes there is a clear "#1 candidate", very often there are a number of plausible candidates. This is just how language works - there are multiple ways to phrase things, and you can't have the model give up every time there is a choice of synonyms. 2) Probability of a token is not the same as probability of a fact. Consider a language model that knows the approximate population of Paris (2 million) but is not confident about the exact figure. Feed such a model the string "The exact population of Paris is" and it will begin with "2" but halfway through the number it will have a more or less arbitrary choice of 10 digits. "2.1I don't know" is neither a desirable answer, nor a plausible one from the model's perspective. |
